To be honest, most of the criticism has been about the amount we paid for BB (and SG), something which the players themselves have zero control over. If we'd paid say £500k for a young, promising BB and £1m for SG, I don't think there'd have been half the amount of discussion around either player. Yes, we've moaned about them on here, but generally in relation to the fee paid. I don't recall anyone getting personal about it. As for grief from the stands, I can only speak for home games, but as @Tom said, if anything we've tried to be over supportive as we'd all like nothing better than the pair of them to turn into world beaters. If that ever happened (extremely unlikely) then the only winners are Rovers which tends to makes us fans quite happy!

I went to the club shop a couple of weeks ago & there was a woman in there picking up a couple of them so I assume they're available for collection, if they've not been binned by now! I didn't purchase one, but it wouldn't surprise me if the club "forgot" to tell those that did to come & collect & relied on people ringing up to see what was happening with them.

Reminds me of a song:

After that shit show from England last night, it was great to just sit & smile for 5 mins watching that. Thanks for posting the link. 👍 Edit: sorry wrong post quote. Should've been @TheRoversReturn

I hope they put them at the side of the pitch - we might score a few more! 😆

So, even though he was already 100% decided that he was going to sign for Dortmund, he thought he might as well hop on a plane just to come & have a look around the sprawling metropolis that is Blackburn, just for kicks? Okaaaayyyy, whatever Robert, if you say so.

Really pleased for the lad. The experience certainly won't do him any harm other than him realising what an absolute muppet Mowbray is!

Slightly off topic, but kit related nonetheless, link below to the Euro 2020 kits. I really like the Italy home kit - clean, smart. Quite like Belgium's home kit as something a bit different. Portugal away? 🤢🤮 https://www.skysports.com/football/news/19692/12256085/euro-2020-kits-revealed-all-the-shirts-ahead-of-summer-tournament

If you run around fast enough, maybe the ref's cards wouldn't register with bolokstats.com

Center defense I think. 😉

As my brother in law once called him, "Harry Maguire off Wish!" 😅

Wow, that's no age at all. very sad news. RIP Alan.

The problem is, I can see us getting off to a reasonable start which will have all the FB fans creaming themselves as to how they were right that we should stick with him. However, as we all know, the next death spiral won't be too far away. Unfortunately, a good start presses the reset button with so many fans that the heat is off. I hate to say it, but a poor start to the season is our best hope of getting rid now. I haven't felt like this since you know who was here. 😪

We all need to get down to Ewood for the 1st home game next season (no I'm not saying buy a ST, single match ticket will do) & make it quite clear that we don't want Mowbray anywhere near the club! Other than boycotting ST sales it's about our only hope. He's so arrogant I honestly don't think he'd be able to take it.

...and on what merit? Do people sit in these meetings and just go "Oh, okay then" whenever an answer is given?

I think that's probably a pretty accurate assessment. I hated it when some fans booed him when he came back to Ewood. I know it hurt when he left but that reception really took me by surprise. A true Rovers Legend.

Is this you as a confirmed signing for next season then Joe? 😄

One of my favourite ever Rovers goals that one. If I remember rightly it was on Sky on a Friday night. Not the best quality, but 5:40 - absolute genius! Enjoy!

People who slow down to 30mph for a speed camera no matter what the speed limit of the road is!

Not as hard as Hot Shot Hamish though! 😉

How bad has it got that we're now discussing the merits of a 73 year old former manager who was instrumental in our relegation (along with Kidd obviously) at the time & it actually seems like a preferable alternative! 😞
